Agency hlgliwny.
Rumors run through thn Chlln
qulii area that the flro wns of
locondlary origin. 'This waa buaod
largely on suspicion rnlher than
dnrinlte clues. Sheriff Lloyd Low
uld that ho had mado an In
vestigation, and would continue
n probe on Monday, hut that he
hud not received any definite In
formation that tho fire was lo
condlary. He auld, howover, that
such a bouef seemed general on
Saturday night.
Hundreds of people crowded
Into the Chlloquln-Plne Ridge
area Sunday to look at the ruins
of tho huge mill. Only tho smoke
slacks, the water tower, and the
huge concrete cube which was
the filing roooi, (till stood.
Around the stacks were the
twisted rulna of the mill proper.
The skeletons of ten boxcars were
visible In the ruins, testifying to
the terrific heat generated by the
holocaust Saturday night.
Flames shot Into the air 300
foot high as tho fire gutted the
yards, sheds, box factory and plan
ing mill of the huge lumber con
cern and wore awept by a high
wind across Williamson river and
Into the town of pine Ridge.
Pushed by a steady wind which
shifted to the south during the
course of tho fire, the flumes
awept Inlu the timber beyond the
town of Pine Ridge and at a late
hour Saturday night Jumped The
Dulles California highway at
Agency landing.
The town of Chilouuln. situat
ed a mllo to the aouth of tho lum
ber mill, waa threatened by the
fire aa It spread within half a
mile of the town's outskirts and
carved a wide arc through Indian
reservation cutovcr land for six
miles to the highway.
Traffic waa blocked aa tho
flames Jumped the highway
threatening summer houses on the
lake's edge.
Ilefore the startled residents
could mora than drag some of
their handiest household proper
ty out of the path of tho flames
the fire demolished the store,
aervlre station, lumber company
office building and lintel of Pine
Itldgo and awept on In a wester
ly direction through the out
skirts of town and Into the cut
over timber beyond.
Bowlldorod residents of the lum
ber town clustered around huge
stacks of household property In the
fields north of the fire and
watched Iho flamea demolish one
by one tho light framo dwellings on
the edge of the town which escaped
the first sweeping onslought of (he
lire.
Kirn fighters, consulting chief
ly of Iho lumber company's crew
of about 4.10 men, were power
leaa to combat tho flnnics. With
no adequate water supply or
pumping eystciu to fight the
flainca the crew of sweating, ex
cited men resorted to waahtuba
and buckets In efforts to keep
tho blme from spreading far
ther. A high wind shifted about 8 p.
m. and turned the flames south

Savaga ranch and menacing sev
eral other buildings In tho Klam

California highway.
Charles Coons, office man

Whon Thompson, followed closely
by Coons, reached tho spot where

Before anything could be done

which had been standing on
sidings near tho mill caught
fire. Trainmen sliinntod the
dnuiago to Kouthern Pacific

ment at approximately $50, OOO.
Southern -Pacific officials said
that from seven to 10 cars which
were standing at the loading plat
form In the mill were demolished.
They wore completely burled by
the mass of flaming debris.
A string of 26 flat cars stand
ing near the mill caught fire and
were hauled to a nearby water
tower where the flames were put
out before the cars were seriously
damaged.
Sevoral Great Northern box
cars were aflame but were also
saved from serious damage.
Great Northern train number
387, a southbound combination
passenger and freight, waa held
up for more than nn hour one
mile north of the fire while the
burning boxcars were hauled from
the mill sidings onto the mainline.
Two scctlona of the southbound
passenger train "Klamath" were
delayed 10 minutca at 6 p. m. but
were allowed to pass through the
scene of the fire.
A Southern Pacific (Ire train

After the blaze swept into the

The disaster committee of the
Klamath county chapter, Ameri
can Red Cross, went to work be
fore the embers of the Forest
Lumber company fire at Pine
Ridge bad cooled.
Notified of the fact that 600
Inhabitants of the town of Pino
Kldge were left homeless, the dis
aster committee, headed by Har
lan P. Bosworth and assisted by
George J. Walton, secretary of the
Klamath Red Cross chapter, reach
ed the fire refugees and Immed
iately made plana for their re
lief. Ann Carter, Oregon state field
representative of the Red Cross,
arrived here Sunday at 9 a. m.
nnd continued to Chiloquln with
Walton. She established head
quarters In the Chiloquln high
school and set to work registering
persons that needed help and is
suing requisitions for such im
mediate necessities as clothing,
bedding and food. To alevlate
the food situation, requisitions
were Issued on restaurants.
Miss Carter, assisted by Mrs.
Howard Boyd, Junior Red Cross
chairman, advised officials she
would prepare a list of necessary
articles needed by the refugees,
the list to be published Tuesday.
Huddled around stacks of
household belongings in the
field near the atlll blazing In
ferno, the fire refugees made a,
picture comparable to scenes at
a European war or ft midwest
flood.
Scores of men, women and chil
dren stood along the Southern Pa
cific and Great Northern tracka
and watched the flames lick Into
the sky from the debris which
marked the site of their demolish
ed homes and the mill which had
given them their livelihood.
Despite the wild excitement
which spread through the com
munity as the flames ate into
the frame buildings, no injuries
were reported among either the
firefighters or those who hur
riedly evacuated their homes.
Dr. Marvin Neraeth aLd L. J.
McClure of Chiloquln were ap
pointed members of the disaster
committee at the scene of the
fire to take charge of relief
work. Arrangements were made
to bouse the refugees in the new
gymnasium of the Chiloquln high
school, where those who are un
able to find shelter with friends
or relatives were provided sleep
ing accommodations for the
night.
